Tire age

I was buying some used roller tires I was talking to the tech about used tires.

He shared a story he said he saw first hand.

A 90 something jeep Cherokee with the OEM spare which sits inside the left rear passenger compartment.

The customer came in for new tires and while there the spare exploded in the car blowing out the windows.

No one had touched the tire at the shop.

It was unknown if the owner had done anything to it.

I bought the used rollers and went home. It's been a few months and there is no signs of problems. The tires are less than 10 years old so I feel ok for their intended use.
